Unless the Antiquities Act amended the Constitution, it cannot bind subsequent Congresses or Presidents.
Douglas Brinkley, incidentally, is a shitty excuse for a historian.
“Douglas Brinkley, incidentally, is a shitty excuse for a historian.”
I don’t recall which program I heard it on yesterday, but they played a tape of Michael Beshloff (another historian). He claimed Obama has the highest IQ of any president and his IQ is off the charts.....but he had NO idea what Obama’s IQ is!
[snip]Exhibit 2. After that stupid comment, Beshloff goes on in the interview and claims multiple times that “Obama’s IQ is off the charts”, and that he is the “smartest President that we’ve ever had”. Finally, after the 3rd or 4th time that he said Obama’s IQ is “off the charts”, Imus asks him what Obama’s IQ was… which he ofcourse couldn’t answer, because nobody knows what Obama’s IQ is… he’s never disclosed that! A point that Beshloff reluctantly conceded to Imus. Moron.
Come to think of it, what do we really know about Obama’s intellectual achievements? As far as I know, he’s never released his transcripts from any of his years in the multiple schools he attended. We don’t know how he, as self described “druggie”, got accepted into Columbia. Nor do we know how he was accepted into Harvard law. Nor do we know how his grades were when he was there… the Obama drones in the media just want us to accept that this guy is the smartest man to walk the face of the earth. Evidence of that? We don’t need no stinking evidence man…

Thank you. I was going to say that, too.
